Mi Han

Chapter 450
Wu Street is located behind Qishan Mountain, and more importantly, it is not far from Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass, anyone who wants to win Hanzhong, cannot ignore the importance of this pass to Hanzhong.

When Cao Cao led the army to attack Hanzhong, Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brother, led an army of tens of thousands to set up defenses inside and outside Yangping Pass.

Zhang Wei's talents are naturally incomparable with Cao Cao's, and Hanzhong soldiers are not necessarily more elite than Wei Jun.

But Zhang Wei relied on Yangping Pass to block Cao Cao's army in the mountains.

It can be said that if it weren't for that accident, Wei Jun would not have been able to take Yangping Pass back then.

Even in the battle of Hanzhong where Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, no matter how brave the Han army was, they failed to capture Yangping Pass, which was heavily defended.

From these two incidents, it can be seen that Yangping Pass is extremely dangerous.

Cao Hong participated in both Hanzhong battles.

Among the surviving famous generals of Cao Wei today, Cao Hong may be one of those who have the deepest understanding of the danger of Yangping Pass.

Because of this understanding, Cao Hong did not want to lead the army to attack Yangping Pass unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the initial strategy of the Central Route Army, Cao Zhen did not assign Cao Hong the task of taking down Yangping Pass.

However, Cao Hong is old, and he still has ambitions in his heart.

If there is a chance to win Yangping Pass, then Cao Hong will definitely give it a try.

In Cao Hong's view, there is an excellent opportunity in front of him right now.

Wu Yi and Mi Yang are at odds!
Throughout the ages, are there still few examples in the world of abandoning the dark and turning to the bright because of disagreement with the coach?
In particular, Cao Hong also knew that Wu Yi was not from Yizhou, but from a family in the Central Plains.

At present, the Central Plains is under the control of Cao Wei.

Everyone has a feeling of homesickness, if you try to persuade him from the perspective of interests and homesickness, there is no guarantee that Wu Yi will not be tempted.

Thinking of this, Cao Hong felt a little hot in his heart.

Cao Hong is a decisive character. When he has an idea in his mind, Cao Hong immediately starts to act.

A letter was quickly written in Cao Hong's pen, and then Cao Hong summoned a person.

This person's name is Ren Xiang, and he is Cao Hong's wife and younger brother.

The reason why Cao Hong summoned Ren Xiang was that Ren Xiang was from Chenliu in Yanzhou, and he and Wu Yi were from the same village.

Since it is planned to send a lobbyist, is there anything more appropriate than sending fellow villagers there?
After Ren Xiang was summoned by Cao Hong, he quickly learned about his mission from Cao Hong.

After learning that he was about to become a lobbyist and going to Yangping Pass to persuade Cao Hong to surrender Wu Yi, Ren Xiang was eager to try.

Wu Yi's family was well-known in Chenliuyi, and they had some friendship with Ren Xiang's family in the past.

Besides, Wu Yi was from a famous family, and if he wanted to fight the two armies, he would value the principle of not beheading the envoy.

With these two points, Ren Xiang felt that his life safety was guaranteed.

Since there is no danger to his life, but it is still possible to make a great contribution, then is there any hesitation for Ren Xiang?
After taking the letter from Cao Hong and putting it in his arms, Ren Xiang immediately bowed to Cao Hong, and then quickly left Cao Hong's tent.

When Ren Xiang came out of Cao Hong's big tent, his whereabouts happened to be seen by Yang Fu who came to discuss military affairs with Cao Hong.

Ren Xiang is Cao Hong's brother-in-law and is now a general in Cao Wei's army. Yang Fu naturally knew Ren Xiang.

Seeing Ren Xiang's excited and mysterious expression after he came out of Cao Hong's big tent, Yang Fu couldn't help feeling suspicious.

But Yang Fu didn't care too much.

The reason why he came to look for Cao Hong was to discuss something important.

Because he was concerned about the important things in his heart, Yang Fu soon entered Cao Hong's tent.

Cao Hong was instinctively displeased when he saw that Yang Fu had entered his tent without a notification.

Cao Hong and Yang Fu have long had feuds.

Cao Hong was very happy after he won the battle of Xiabian that year. He held a banquet in the army and asked the singers to wear thin clothes and play the drums. Everyone present laughed unceasingly.

Only Yang Fu severely reprimanded Cao Hong after seeing this scene, saying: "The difference between men and women, the great festival of the country, why is there a naked woman's body in a sitting room! Although Jie and Zhou are in chaos, it is not worse than this."

In Yang Fu's speech, he compared Cao Hong to a tyrannical person like Jie and Zhou.

Being reprimanded in such a way in public, it's no wonder that Cao Hong's character can't be angry.

If it hadn't been for Cao Xiu's persuasion from the side at that time, Cao Hong would not have invited Yang Fu who had angrily left the seat to sit again.

Because of this unpleasant past, Yang Fu certainly knew that Cao Hong had a grudge against him.

But since he is Cao Hong's army guard today, he must fulfill his duty of guarding the army well.

After seeing Cao Hong, Yang Fu bowed to him and asked, "Now that our army has captured Wujie, when will the general lead the army northward to capture Qishan?"

It was good for Cao Hong to use flexible tactics to take Wujie, but he didn't take Qishan after all.

Qishan has an elite Liangzhou army, if that Liangzhou army cannot be wiped out, there will be no security behind the Wei army.

Under such circumstances, how can we continue to go south?

Yang Fu's question made Cao Hong ponder.

It is impossible for him not to see the problem that even Yang Fu can see.

If it was before, he really needs to think about Qi Shan's problem.

But now that he has a new breakthrough direction in his heart, he doesn't care so much about Qi Shan.

Between Qishan and Yangping Pass, who is more important?
It's almost self-explanatory.

And because he was not sure whether Wu Yi would accept his persuasion to surrender, Cao Hong didn't want to tell Yang Fu what he had in mind yet.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Hong replied: "Our army has been marching hard for many days and is quite tired.

Please do not fight, I would rather let the army recuperate in Wu Street for a few days, and then lead the army northward to capture Qishan. "

Cao Hong's answer did not satisfy Yang Fu.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and quick, and it is rare for the Central Route Army to get off to a good start. It is time to go northward to capture Qishan in one go.

Once they take Qishan, the Central Route Army will be able to advance and retreat in Hanzhong without any worries. This is a major event related to the life and death of the first army, so how can it be delayed.

Yang Fu was about to persuade Cao Hong again, but Cao Hong was a little impatient at this moment.

He waved his hand to signal Yang Fu to back down.

Cao Hong's impatient attitude made Yang Fu choke for a moment.

He is a good guard, but the power of the guard is not unlimited, at least in wartime, he does not have the power to directly command the army.

Cao Hong, who is now the chief general of the first army, refuses to listen to his suggestion, so Yang Fu has nothing to do.

Unless Yang Fu can act decisively and use the power of the guard army to remove Cao Hong from the post of chief general.

It's just that this is a power that will be used as a last resort. At present, Cao Hong has done nothing wrong. What reason does Yang Fu use to remove Cao Hong on behalf of the emperor?

And after Cao Hong was dismissed, who should be in command of the Central Route Army?
Yang Fu thought that he did not have the ability to command a large army alone.

Under all these concerns, facing Cao Hong's impatience, Yang Fu could only sigh and leave sadly in the end.

After Yang Fu left, Cao Hong took out the map in the tent and carefully studied the enemies he was facing by candlelight.

Although Cao Hong was in front of Yang Fu just now, he was a little careless about the direction of the next attack.

But Cao Hong is not an incompetent person, and he really wants to fight this battle for Wei, so when there is no one around, Cao Hong often analyzes his next move.

It is true that Cao Hong has expectations for Wu Yi at Yangping Pass in his heart, but, as a veteran general, Cao Hong cannot put all his eggs in one basket.

Cao Hong's callused fingers kept moving on the rough map. When his fingers moved away from Yangping Pass, they gradually moved to Qishan.

Just like what Yang Fu was worried about, if Qi Shan is not captured, Cao Hong will feel like a stick in his throat.

Looking at the name of the guard marked at Qishan on the map, Cao Hong felt that it was very strange.

Stone bud?

Where did this Han general come from?

Qishan is such an important place, why didn't Mi Yang let Ding Feng guard it?

Cao Hong said that he couldn't see through Mi Yang's mind.

But just as Cao Hong couldn't see through why Mi Yang let Wu Yi, who had a suspicion with him, guard Yangping Pass, since he couldn't see through, there was no need to think about it.

Isn't the mistakes made by the enemy the best nourishment for him to make great achievements?
After Ren Xiang left the Wei Army camp, he took a few personal followers and hurried towards Yangping Pass.

Wu Street is not too far from Yangping Pass. After traveling day and night, Ren Xiang arrived outside Yangping Pass after a few days.

Not surprisingly, the whereabouts of Ren Xiang and his party were quickly discovered by Han army scouts and surrounded by a group of Han army scouts.

Facing the siege of the Han army scouts, Ren Xiang did not choose to resist.

He chose to lay down his weapon and let the Han army scouts tie him up, but when the Han army scouts tied him up, he also reported his identity and purpose of coming.

After the captain of the scout of the Han army knew that Ren Xiang was the envoy sent by the Wei army, he did not hesitate, and immediately took Ren Xiang to Yangping Pass.

For the scouts of the First Army, this kind of thing often happened to them in the past.

Not long after, Ren Xiang was taken outside Wu Yi's tent by scouts from the Han army.

Yangping Pass is essentially a military fortress.

When Zhang Wei resisted Cao Cao's army at Yangping Pass, he built many dangerous camps inside and outside Yangping Pass.

Over the years, some of those big camps have been damaged, but some functions are still very perfect.

Since Wu Yi became the guard general of Yangping Pass, he has re-used those big camps.

Wu Yi discussed military affairs with the generals in his tent today.

According to the information he got before, Wei Jun should be attacking Qi Shan at this time.

However, Qi Shan did not send any military information, which made Wu Yi, who had been through many battles, couldn't help feeling suspicious.

With doubts in his heart, Wu Yi summoned all the generals to discuss this abnormal situation today.

Although he was reminded by Mi Yang, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. When Wu Yi regained the military power, he still used a large number of his old troops.

Most of the people discussing matters together in the tent today are his cronies.

When Wu Yi heard the report from the scouts that an envoy from Wei Jun had come, a look of astonishment first appeared on his face, and then his brows were furrowed.

Has Wei Jun arrived outside Yangping Pass?

Wu Yi knew that one day he might face Cao Wei's Central Route Army, but according to common sense, Wei Army's Central Route Army shouldn't attack Yangping Pass so quickly.

After all, Qi Shan is still firmly under the control of the Han army.

The arrival of Wei Jun's envoys plunged Wu Yi into new confusion.

Due to the confusion in his heart, Wu Yi quickly summoned Ren Xiang.

When Ren Xiang was brought into Wu Yi's tent by the scouts, Ren Xiang quickly announced a news that shocked the Han generals present.

Cao Hong's tens of thousands of Wei troops are currently stationed in the Wujie area.

After hearing the news, all the Han generals present were not surprised.

Wu Street is behind Qi Shan, how could it be suddenly taken down by Wei Jun?

Could it be that Qi Shan has fallen?

When this thought surfaced in their hearts, the faces of all the Han generals present were very ugly.

If this is the case, how strong is Wei Jun's combat power!
Only Wu Yi remained somewhat clear when he was in shock.

If Qi Shan really fell, it is impossible for him not to get any news.

Qishan is not an insignificant small town like Wujie.

It's just that the most important thing at the moment is to find out the purpose of the Wei Jun envoy's visit.

Wu Yi tried his best to keep himself calm, and asked Ren Xiang in a deep voice, "Why did Cao Hong send you here?"

Wu Yi's tone was quite indifferent.

But Ren Xiang was not worried at all.

He just announced the news that his army is in Wujie, just to make the Han generals in the tent worry.

Only in a worried mood can the success of persuading surrender be greatly improved.

And when Wu Yi asked him why he came, Ren Xiang didn't hide it, or he deliberately revealed his reason in front of everyone.

"Cao Huanqi, I have a letter of trust for the general."

After Ren Xiang said these words, Wu Yi frowned even more, but the other Han generals present all looked at Wu Yi with various eyes at the same time.

Most of the Han generals in the tent are close friends of Wu Yi, but there are still many who are loyal to Mi Yang.

After all, Mi Yang disrupted and reorganized the entire Liangzhou Army before. Under such circumstances, no one in Liangzhou except Mi Yang could completely control the Liangzhou Army alone.

Leaving aside the meaning of the eyes of Wu Yi's cronies, the eyes of those Han generals who are completely loyal to Mi Yang are quite intriguing.

Things have developed to this point, everything makes Ren Xiang very satisfied.

However, when the matter developed to this stage, Wu Yi felt a little unexpected.

No matter what is written in Cao Hong's letter, when everyone knows that Cao Hong has sent a letter to Wu Yi, many groundless guesses will arise.

Wu Yi is a good relative of the big man, but let's not mention his past with Mi Yang. When Liu Bei captured Yizhou, wasn't Wu Yi a relative of Liu Zhang?
Wu Yi understood Cao Hong's sinister intentions at this moment.

It's just that knowing it is one thing, but now Wu Yi has no way to counter it.

Flies never bite seamless eggs.

Helpless, Wu Yi could only bite the bullet and let Ren Xiang deliver Cao Hong's letter.

After receiving Cao Hong's autographed letter, Wu Yi quickly read it:

"Hong Suwen has long admired the general for his reputation as a good fighter.

Now that Hong is leading a large army to suppress the border, he originally wanted to have a fight with the general, but Hong couldn't bear the loss of his life, so he expressed his interests and interests to the general with a letter.

There are many things of loyalty and righteousness in the world, but if you want to do them, you also need to see the weather.

Ma Chao's heroic capital, now Wudu, is surrounded by General Zhengshu.The thief is in Nanzheng, and now the general is here by himself.

As far as our army is concerned, Wujie has already fallen, and our army's soldiers will be able to touch Yangping in a few days.All the current affairs, what you have seen with your own eyes.

Liangzhou is divided into three groups for our army, and it is about to hang upside down. How can we spare the power to save the general?
Now my tiger is bent, and everyone is dying.The Heavenly Soldiers of the Wei Dynasty are endless.Today, if the general spends his days and nights, waiting for the rescue that is not expected, guarding the pass that must be lost, it is like fish and meat on the shore, relying on Jianghan, it is not clear what is going on.

If I concentrate on one place, and never move the sun, Yangping will be destroyed. After the city is broken, what good is death?
If it doesn't belong to the Central Plains, it will re-enshrine the ancestral temple in Huaxia.

I hope the general will think about it! "

After reading the contents of Cao Hong's letter, Wu Yi's face became more and more ugly.

He raised his head and looked at the scrutinizing eyes of everyone present, Wu Yi felt an unknown fire brewing in his heart.

Could it be that his image in the world is so unbearable!
